TikTok is the latest Chinese app to take off in the United States. However, there are concerns that China’s government could be using the app to surveil Americans. Critics argue that the specter of this surveillance is enough to boycott or even impose an outright ban on the app. Others suggest that the app does not pose such a grave risk and that policymakers should allow the marketplace to balance the potential risks and tradeoffs. Should the government regulate the app market? Can any apps from China be trusted?

We have the power to create an abundant future for humanity. But instead, we’ve clogged up every path to progress with red tape and vetocracy.

As humans with agency, we can build the future we want. But progress is neither inevitable nor one-dimensional. To realize that future—with abundant clean energy, inexpensive housing, human-centered artificial intelligence, and mastery of synthetic biology—we must simultaneously avoid complacency about our potential and fatalism about risks. We must identify and break through the bottlenecks that are holding us back.

The inaugural Bottlenecks Summit is an invitation-only unconference bringing together thinkers, builders, creators and policy entrepreneurs working to overcome bottlenecks to human progress and abundance. The event will take place on Friday, September 6, 2024 in San Francisco, California.
